If you shape everything on eth0 down to dialup speeds, including pure LAN 
traffic, then the answer is yes, you have an unnecessary bottleneck there, 
because the traffic caused by squid on ppp0 is not shaped at all. 

I'm assuming that squid traffic looks like locally generated traffic to 
iptables/QoS. I don't really use squid, so I can't check.
